The Great Recession hit and my entire institutional sales desk got laid off. I went from trading to management after a handful of licenses because there were zero openings for trading for a few years.

Did a variety of internships in college so I got a taste of stuff I like and didn’t like as much. I’m only 1.5 years out of undergrad and enjoy what I’m doing now, but who knows what’ll happen? I’ve been told that for many, career path isn’t always a defined straight line you’d think of. Part of the fun I guess 🤷‍♀️

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
